  • Dr. Luke Johnson is a dermatologist with special training in Pediatric Dermatology, though he sees both adult and pediatric patients. He believes that his role as a doctor is to advise patients (and parents) on what he thinks would be the best course of action, and the final decision should be made jointly by both physician and patient (or parent). One reason he loves taking care of children is because in treating a child, he feels that he treats the whole family. His methods to improve skin conditions include lifestyle recommendations, medicines, surgery, and laser techniques. His expertise includes common conditions, such as acne and eczema, as well as rare disorders, such as unusual birthmarks and immunodeficiency states.

    Dr Johnson was wonderful. We have seen multiple doctors about the condition my son has and he is the first one to give me an answer, so I am very grateful! He was kind, patient, and explained things very well to us. Thank you Dr Johnson!

    The appointment was short so I would need a future visit to give the very highest mark. I was pleased with my care and will return when I have need.
